the shower challenge 1 YEAR, 1 BOTTLE OF SHOWER GEL
are you joining in?
C O N C E N T R AT E D FORMULA RainPharma Skin Washes only contain real, active ingredients. We don’t add any extra water. Because let’s be honest, why would we fill bottles with water when it also flows from the tap when you shower? You need fewer bottles. We have to transport fewer bottles. And fewer bottles end up in the recycling.
WA S H F O R A W H O L E Y E A R W I T H 1 B O T T L E O F S H O W E R G E L , I S T H AT P O S S I B L E ? With a 500 ml bottle of Skin Wash you can shower no less than 416 times! So it will last a good year. Like to try a new fragrance every now and then? Then our small 100 ml bottles are ideal.
S I Z E D O E S N ’ T M AT T E R Our 100ml bottles of Skin Wash are allowed in your hand luggage, but describing them as ‘travel size’ doesn’t do them justice. Unless of course you’re going on a very long trip. With a 100 ml bottle you can shower no less than 80 times!
1 D O S E = 1 L AVA G E Did you know that 1 pump is more than enough to wash an adult body? Simply apply to wet skin and spread out well.
F O A M PA R T Y ? Our Skin Washes are 100% natural so they don’t contain any synthetic foaming agents. Still mad about foam? Invest in a Body Wonder Towel (Japanese face cloth) or a Liu’s Magic Sponge (konjac sponge). This will allow you to turn 1 pump of shower gel into a luxurious plant-based cloud of foam, which you can easily wash a whole family with!
TEAM SPONGE? Liu’s Magic Sponge is an extremely soft konjac sponge, made of 100% natural material. Let your sponge dry out well after each use (for example put it on a radiator), as otherwise it will disintegrate. Replace your sponge every 2 to 3 months. Because Liu’s Magic Sponge is so soft, it’s also ideal for washing the delicate skin of babies. In this case use the sponge without shower gel, a wonderful nourishing oil bath is enough!
O R T E A M FAC E C L O T H ? With the Body Wonder Towel, not only do you conjure up a lot of foam, but this face cloth also immediately changes your shower gel into a scrub. Thanks to its elongated shape, it’s easy to wash your back or the soles of your feet. Very handy! The Body Wonder Towel dries quickly and is very sustainable. Depending on how often you use the face cloth, it will need replacing after 2 to 3 years. But there are also people who have had their Body Wonder Towel hanging in the shower for much longer.
AND THE PRICE? Each bottle of Skin Wash has a different price. Sounds crazy? Actually it’s very logical.
N AT U R E D E C I D E S The price is determined by the ingredients used and depends on how difficult or easy it is to obtain the required essential oil from the plant, the flowers or the herb. The prices of our Skin Washes vary between €7 and €64, depending on the format and the essential oil used. We have also developed a couple of exclusive varieties. Because of the low yield of these flowers, plants or herbs and the labour-intensive process, these Skin Washes have a higher price tag.
CHEAPER THAN ONE COFFEE PER MONTH Did you know that a luxurious 100% natural and 100% Belgian shower gel by RainPharma is actually no more expensive than that ‘cheaper’ shower gel from the supermarket or the chemist? Thanks to their concentrated formulas, our Skin Washes are really economical to use. Have you picked the Orange Skin Wash? You can shower for a whole year for only €2.42 per month. Are you also crazy about the popular Lemongrass Skin Wash? You can wash yourself for a year for €3,17 per month.
R E N E WA B L E S O U R C E S 1 bottle of Pine Skin Wash requires no less than 40 kg of fresh pine twigs. Thankfully no forests are chopped down for this. We use branches and twigs that are trimmed. For our Orange Skin Wash too, we choose ‘waste’ that would otherwise be thrown away. We collect orange peels from companies that make organic juices and press the essential oil for our Skin Washes from them. All the flowers, plants and herbs used come from renewable sources.
EXCLUSIVE On Valentine’s Day we launched Rose, our most exclusive Skin Wash with pure essential rose oil. Over 150 kilos of fresh hand-picked roses are used for a 500 ml bottle. Of course, this influences the price tag of this variety, but love is priceless, right? Next year we’re also releasing a new Valentine’s edition!
G R E AT F O R Y O U R S K I N A N D T H E E N V I R O N M E N T ! RainPharma Skin Washes are 100% plant-based: no aggressive preservatives no synthetic fragrances and colourings no irritating foaming agents A traditional shower gel contains detergents, preservatives and chemicals. The balance between good and bad bacteria is disturbed. Your skin’s acid mantle becomes unbalanced. With each wash, so every day, your skin’s natural balance is disturbed. Your skin doesn’t get the chance to recover and feels dry and tight, even when you use a moisturising lotion or cream after showering.
SKIN CARE BEGINS IN THE SHOWER RainPharma Skin Washes respect your skin’s acid mantle, with all its good bacteria. Your daily wash thus becomes the first and most important step in your skincare routine. Your skin shines Your skin doesn’t feel tight or dry Your skin is supple and soft Want to give your skin an extra treat? Choose a nourishing oil or a moisturising body lotion! For your face, choose a gentle facial cleanser with flower water, like the Dedicated Face Wash.
A FRAGRANCE FOR EVERY MOOD Woody and spicy? Or fruity and fresh? In the Aromatherapy Essentials line, you’ll find a whole series of wonderful natural fragrances (and we plan to extend the range further). So there’s something for everyone!
C O N N O I S S E U R S VS B E G I N N E R S Unfortunately, today we’re more familiar with synthetic fragrances and flavours than with the original natural varieties. Think for example of children who prefer to eat strawberry sweets rather than real strawberries. For many fragrances and flavours, over time we will value them more. For example, as adults, we learn to appreciate the depths of wine. Essential oils are very complex mixes that often contain over 100 different molecules. ‘Beginners’ can start with Orange, Lemongrass or Eucalyptus. ‘Advanced’ users will tend more towards Rosemary, Sage or Lavender. Real ‘connoisseurs’ will love complex fragrances like Anise, Ylang Ylang or Geranium. Take your time to discover the subtlety and versatility of the fragrances. One thing is for sure: once you’re accustomed to natural fragrances, it’s very unlikely that you’ll go back to the synthetic versions.
HOW DO YOU CHOOSE YOUR FRAGRANCE? Based on the specific characteristics of a plant, flower or herb within aromatherapy. Based on personal preference but also according to your mood or state of mind at a specific moment. Based on the amount that you want to spend on a new natural shower gel. The price is determined by the oil used. Based on the intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances like lemongrass and thyme are strong and intense and leave a fragrance throughout the whole bathroom. Fragrances like orange and pine, on the other hand, are subtler. Want to relax before sleeping? Lavender is calming. Want to start the day off well? Mandarin is a cheerful pick-me-up. Showering after your work-out? Aniseed has a wonderful effect on the muscles, while peppermint provides a wonderful cool down.
N O S TA L G I Q U E , C ’ E S T C H I C ! Do you also love the nostalgic style of our Skin Washes? The brown bottles recall the pots and jars that you used to find in the herbal pharmacy.
FOR YOUR SKIN AND HANDS! RainPharma Skin Wash can also be used as a wonderful fragrant hand wash. Place your favourite fragrance next to the sink or on the counter. For extra skincare, combine the Skin Wash with Prebiotic Skin lotion, a unique hand lotion that gives your hands everything they need. The two bottles make a stylish duo in your home. Want to create a Pinterest-perfect interior? We designed special holders you can use to attach your bottle of Skin Wash to the wall in style!
B AT H I N G I N L U X U R Y Do you prefer a bath to a shower? You can also use RainPharma Skin Washes as a bubble bath. Add a few pumps under running water for a foamy and wonderfully fragrant bath!
B U T A L S O A S A F R A G R A N C E I N T H E B AT H , IN BED OR IN HOUSE Did you know that you can also buy all the Skin Wash fragrances as pure essential oils? Dissolve a few drops of essential oil in our Precious Bath Oil and enjoy a fragrant warm bath. Add a fragrance to our neutral skincare products: massage oil, bath oil, after oil and sugar cane body scrub. Make your own home or textiles perfume with our diffuser. At our points of sale, you can visit the fragrance lab, where you can put together your unique fragrance with a RainPharma specialist. The intensity is entirely up to you! Turn your house into a naturally scented home with RainPharma’s Aroma Diffuser. Scented candles create a lovely atmosphere, but they’re not always good for your health. The Aroma Diffuser is the perfect healthy and safe alternative!
